Release Notes:

After turning heads with his bold debut single “FAFO (Fuck Around & Find Out),” Leon Hayes returns to Pure Snark Records with a track that proves lightning can strike twice — especially if you’re hiding under the wrong name.

“Can I Get A Witness (Protection)” takes Hayes’ trademark blend of gospel grit and back-alley humor to new heights. With a horn section that shouts “amen” and a rhythm that can’t stay out of trouble, Hayes tells the story of a man ducking the consequences of his own good intentions. It’s soul, satire, and sermon rolled into one three-minute groove.

Hayes delivers the performance with a wink and a grin, equal parts preacher and prankster. It’s 1965 Philly soul at its purest — tight, playful, and undeniably human.
